Teens Rob Man, Run Into Police At Henninger

Syracuse police arrested two juveniles who robbed a man and literally ran into officers on patrol near Henninger High School for President Obama's speech.

Officers say the two teens assaulted a man and knocked him to the ground, then stole his iPod and headphones. They fled, but in the wrong direction. Police Sgt. Tom Connellan says, "they ran towards Henninger High School, which has approximately 150 police officers surrounding the area." Connellan says all officers had a description of the pair and knew who they were looking for. The pair, who have not been identified, are being held at Hillbrook Detention Center.
